So I have a bit of an interesting story of how I discovered these implants.
A little backstory: I have always been into body mods (I have ear gauges, covered in tattoos and have several piercings). I’m also very into nerdy stuff like comics, manga, and I’m a huge Star Wars fan. I was recently going to Disney World in Florida and my kids and I decided we were going to build custom light sabers at Savi’s Workshop in the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge area in the Disney Hollywood Studios park. During the process of building the light sabers, you get to choose a custom kyber crystal that you install into the hilt of the light saber. The color of kyber crystal you choose decides what color your blade would be. They sell additional kyber crystals in the gift shop outside of the workshop so you can put a new crystal in that is a different color and it will change the color of the blade to match the cystal. I’ve always modded things like electronics, game consoles, and anything else that I can mod because I have a hard time leaving things as they were intended. So with this I knew there would be a way to have just one kyber crystal and be able to choose any color I wanted. After a little research I discovered that the kyber crystals had an RFID chip in them. After I bought an RFID chip reader/writer I was able to reprogram the chip to a different number and change the light saber color to anything I wanted. When the RFID chip reader/writer came in the mail, it was shipped with cards and key fobs that also had RFID chips in them. When I realized the cards look like the HID card that I use to scan into the gate to get into my job, I realized I could clone it on one of the cards that came in the box with the reader/writer. Then I started researching everything I could find on RFID technology, because I love tinkering with anything I can, and stumbled upon this site. I just self implanted the cyborg kit and I’m really excited to start using them. Just thought I’d share my story.
